In the study of a transistor as an amplifier,if $\alpha = \frac{I_C}{I_E} = 0.98$ and $\beta = \frac{I_C}{I_B} = 49$,where $I_C, I_B,$ and $I_E$ are collector,base,and emitter currents respectively,then $\left(\frac{1}{\alpha} - \frac{1}{\beta}\right)$ is equal to:

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $2$

An $N-P-N$ transistor in a common emitter mode is used as a simple voltage amplifier with a collector current of $4 \ mA$. The terminal of an $8 \ V$ battery is connected to the collector through a load resistance $R_L$ and to the base through a resistance $R_B$. The collector-emitter voltage $V_{CE} = 4 \ V$,base-emitter voltage $V_{BE} = 0.6 \ V$ and base current amplification factor $\beta_{d.c.} = 100$. Calculate the values of $R_L$ and $R_B$.
